2016 has come and gone, and tomorrow marks our official 5th anniversary! January 4th marks 5 years since we began this adventure together, and it also marks the end of our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway! So as of now you have until 12 AM EST tonight to finish getting your entries in for this giveaway. If you need a refresher on the rules, just follow that link.

I know you probably weren’t expecting us to double up on galleries from B-Robo Kabutack with this years’ Toku Toy Box, but just for Christmas we wanted to give you an incredible treat. Today we’re sharing an unprecedented look at an elusive figure of which only 5 exist in the world. We are proud to present this full gallery of the Superchange Silver Chrome Kuwajiro!

You read that right. This incredibly rare figure was limited to just 5. These figures were awarded to 5 young lucky Japanese fans for a Coloring Contest hosted by TV-Kun Magazine in 1997. Since then they’ve mostly faded into obscurity. Most Metal Hero collectors simply don’t know this release exists. The other 4 Kuwajiros are currently in collections somewhere across the world but I was lucky enough to stumble upon an auction for this one myself. And now I’m immeasurably proud to be able to share this full gallery of it below.

We’ve taken over 50 photos of this incredible figure and you can view them all by clicking “Discuss on the The TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. It’s purchases like these that truly excite me. I absolutely love sharing looks at obscure & rare figures with this community, and Silver Kuwajiro fits both those criteria fantastically. I hope you enjoyed this gallery as much I did!

We’re doubling up with yet another retro gallery for this years’ Toku Toy Box! For last years giveaway we took a look at the impressive Superchange DX Kabutack set, and this year we’re following up with Kabutack’s friend and ally, Superchange Kuwajiro!

Kuwajiro, like Kabutack, features an interesting and fun SD style Normal Mode, but by way of the Superchange gimmick can assume the more heroic Super Mode! Each figure in this line features the two, but perhaps Kuwajiro’s are the most similar. While he’s certainly not the most dynamic figure in the line, like everyone else he still has quite the charm to him. And thanks to his included Hasamic Cutter he packs a little bit of heat to make up for it.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can see the entire 40 image gallery by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in two days with yet another gallery for Toku Toy Box!

It’s been over 1 month since we began but Toku Toy Box is finally coming to an end! This year has been possibly our biggest yet and we really tried to pull out all the stops in bringing you as many toy galleries as possible, with the biggest prize packs we could afford to offer. We’ve run the spectrum of the last 3 decades worth of tokusatsu to bring you a unique mix of toys you’ve never seen and some familiar favorites along the way.

Please take a moment to check out all 16 galleries and be sure to leave a post in them if you haven’t done so already! Every time you make a relevant (non-spam) post in a Toku Toy Box thread you’re automatically entered in for a chance to win 1 of 4 amazing prize packs!

If you need a refresher on how Toku Toy Box works as well as an overview of the official rules for the giveaway then please click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our original announcement thread for this years giveaway. Good luck to all who entered this year! Winners will be revealed tonight at 12:00 AM/Midnight EST!

Toku Toy Box is back with yet another vintage gallery for your viewing pleasure! Today we take a look back at a classic entry in the Metal Heroes franchise circa 1997-1998 with B-Robo Kabutack! And the toy of it’s titular hero, the Superchange Kabutack DX Set!

An often overlooked series, B-Robo Kabutack was the spiritual successor to the long forgotten Toei Fushigi Comedy series. A franchise marked by fun loving almost child like robots and their human allies. Examples being shows like Batten Robomaru, Morimori Bokkun, & Robot 8-Chan. Kabutack sat itself apart with some fantastic production values, a plot that borrows more than a little bit from Dragonball, and an absolutely fantastic gimmick for it’s toyline; Superchange! This DX Superchange set includes the fully transformable Kabutack as well as his 2 armors Drillut & Zabut, each sporting 3 different combinations with Kabutack!

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to view the entire 100 image gallery as well as a full review of this set! We’ve also included a short synopsis of B-Robo Kabutack for those unfamiliar. And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win! We’ll be back very soon with another gallery related to this one, in the form of Kabutack’s succesor. The final Metal Heroes series, Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack!
